The Notice describes the types of personal data we obtain, how we use the personal data, and with whom we share it. We also describe the rights you may have and how you can contact us about our privacy practices.

Safeguarding Your Privacy

Protecting your personal information is important to us. This notice is being provided to inform you of our practices and procedures regarding sharing of nonpublic personal information. Nonpublic personal information is personally identifiable information about you, your family or your household that we may obtain directly, as a result of doing business with you or from other sources. We do not engage in the practice of disclosing your nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties other than, as necessary, to provide insurance services to our customers. In particular, we do not sell your information to telemarketers or direct mail solicitors or engage in sharing your information with retailers, nor for marketing purposes.

Information we may Collect and Disclose

When you apply for any type of insurance with us, you disclose information about yourself to us.  The collection, use and disclosure of such information is regulated by law.  Patriot Select, its agents, affiliates and subsidiaries maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards that comply with state and federal regulations to guard your personal information.  During the course of reviewing your application for coverage and during the course of providing services, should a policy be issued, we may collect information form the following sources:

  • Your insurance application and other forms received from you;
  • Information about your transactions with us, our affiliates and others;
  • Information from consumer reporting agencies;
  • Information we receive from state or federal entities; and
  • Information gathered during the course of inspecting the property you wish to insure.

The information that we collect about you is important in evaluating your insurance coverage and rates, servicing your policy, and settling claims.

We do not disclose any nonpublic personal information about our customers or former customers to anyone except as permitted by law. In the course of conducting business we may disclose to other parties certain information about you. These disclosures are only made in accordance with applicable laws, and may include disclosures to reinsurers, administrators, our contracted service providers, consultants and regulatory or government agencies. Authorized personnel, including your insurance agent, will have access to your personal information for the purposes of administering your business and providing service to you. These entities are required to maintain the confidentiality of this information and are not authorized to use or disclose personal information for any purpose other than the express purpose of performing work on your behalf or as required by law.
